he gives a healthier, paler looking Trump for sure. But I'm glad a good replacement for Baldwin's Trump has been found!

I love how long he stretches out the freeze-frame, pranking Mikey Day stuck in position...

Making Trump skits great again

his impersonation would be spot on if he wore a FAT-MAN suit under those clothes

His impression is SO freaking good!

They've cornered the essence of Trump.

Strange wording = indicative of mental disorder (neurological illness) in addition to below normal IQ.

So true from the standpoint of humor 😂

Jesus came to me and he said "Sir..."

I'm JX100 the rap artist.

Darrel did it better.

Sadly… I could see trump saying this entire skit! 😂

hilarious!

Omg the mannerisms!!!😂😂 The head tilting, his little sniffle between s3nt3nxes.. He's thought of it all!

A high price to pay for a few laughs. Very temporary, but the writers and actors will have to face the consequences for eternity. So sad.

Jesus Christ .. I'm done

Poor Mikey Day having to hold his arm up that entire time.

I feel for the apostle having to crook his neck to the side - like, ouch. But yeah, Jesus (Mikey?) holding his arms up with his hands in the blessing position the entire skit? That's some damn good training 👏🏾. Nice job, everyone! 💐💐💐

James Farr!! Love your videos!!

@@bhornannawindeedeigh5007 The head tilt is not that bad. That's half of my zoom calls.

They’re trying to make him break! 😂😂😂😂 they must have said..”hey when he runs out of lines, don’t move for the cold open”

I really like "Voters for trump" that was a hilarious snl

He did it before when he first started on the show. I still don't know what possessed Lorne to let the new guy (JAJ) do it, but it was a gutsy decision.

Remarkable, but it's all they give him to do so he has time to.work on it.

He's able to riff as Trump for hours on basically any topic, it's fucking incredible

I just watched like 5 or 6 different cold opens where he basically did the whole thing by himself

LMAO!! 😂😂😂😂😆 Ikr??!!!! 😄

That was my fave, too! 😂

I believe it’s a reference to this: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apuIZ7qn0Lqvj30.html

It is perfect. Every phrase and sentence is priceless.

Mc's Filet O'Fish sandwich!

...or a least a Happy Meal, c'mon!

Would need ratings for that. They don’t have it

​@@joeylodes you're absolutely not triggered, I can tell.

Lorne is an asshat that would never even consider paying these amazing actors more.

@@joeylodes , well at least ‘Dr.’ Joey is watching.

Shane Gillis and Zach Hadel

It’s all about that famous line.

Came close on the "fingers" joke.

I saw this when it was live last night and this is the fourth time I’ve watched it this morning and I’m still laughing. James is hilarious. He’s so relaxed and has a presence like he’s always been there since the show started.

James is "da bomb." Diversely talented!

It honestly feels like we're in a proper "new era" of SNL with so much quality talent across the board. Can't wait to see who makes the jump to more movies.

He just needs to add that awkward dementia lean trump does when he stands 😂 where his upper body is leaning forward

False. Shane Gillis is the correct answer. This guy sucks

Shane Gillis is way better.

Shane Gillis is better

Shane Gilly better fa sho but this dude good too

Better than the original!

I agree him and Jamie fox lol

Watch last week's open! Even better!

This was an impression?

check out J.L. Cauvin's trump sometime.

coulda been better as biden. but then there wouldnt be any dialogue

​@@jamineamina5429 Aw, salty there Jamine? It's ok. One day tRump will be in jail, and then SNL can move on to the next republican traitor.

@@jamineamina5429 Biden was never arrested and facing far more severe charges very soon. He spoke well enough at the state of union.

@@jamineamina5429 weak diss.

If only Shane didn't fired...

...and the little tilt of the head, he ruins me 😂

Kudos to the makeup crew for the neck waddle

the flanged sleeves to make the hands looks smaller is a hilarious touch

They need Jabba the Hutt levels of makeup to really make it look real. Poor JAJ.

He really nailed the word association and tone of voice. I love these skits

The need to add a fat suit - he's much too svelte to look like the real lardass!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I can't tell if Bowen is trying to hold onto his sleeve to help out or not

Doing it that long? Doable. Doing it that long without even twitching? Now that deserves some prize

@@moistnugget4147 Not to knock him, but he was twitching like a coke addict at the end there lmao

I always say that I understand why boom mic operators make so much lol

Or at least a grail :)

Better than the original in so many ways…

Honestly. I'm not a big fan of SNL, but this one was pretty good.

Tears in his eyes gets me everytime.

"In terms of fish and with regard to bread" is such a perfect Trumpism.

I’m not either. My sisters are huge fans but my coworker sent me this. I’m at my desk laughing out loud 😂😂😂! My supervisor is in a meeting.

Absolutely right. 😂😂😂😂😂

This one is destined to be a classic!

I know it’s a low bar, but he’s much better than the original!

Shane gillis

Amazing and spot on!!

Also the trailing off whine at the end of sentences. :-D

"adderall-pickled brainwaves" got me XD

Perfect! "Adderall-pickled brainwaves." 🤣

All of his pickled brain mannerisms are so on point 😄

Tongue flick at 2:49 . . .

Not a teleprompter, but yeah lol

@@levythemenn7906 cue cards

​@@levythemenn7906 yeah, what I meant was that he captures the changes that Trump always had when he would go on his "off-the-cuff" comments throughout his teleprompted speeches.

No teleprompter…cue cards are used. But yeah…

@@johnfury8834 I understood what you meant. And I agree. The best impersonators know how to do both Trumps: 1. Teleprompter trump and 2. off the cuff trump. They’re not just different in content but the tone and mannerisms are also different.

Laughing at disrespecting Hod. Disgusting

The writing, tho!

You think you’d say the same if they did a good skit making fun of biden or AOC?

@@GoOnTags DUNCE CAP KING. WOW.

@@GoOnTags well that just wouldn’t be funny since neither of them speak at an elementary school level. Nice try though!

The only thing I'll miss are these terrific routines, when flumpy goes off to prison and gradually fades into obscurity... yeah, I know he is destined to be the punch line in political jokes forever more.

A reference to Mary Magdalene (and of course Stormy Daniels) , but I think that probably went over a lot of heads these days.

“…named Mary Macarena.” It was RIGHT there to use.

@Anders That is a dispute among Bible scholars and historians. But she became a faithful follower of Jesus after he cast out "seven demons" from her. ( Luke 8:2.) I was simply pointing out how I interpreted that line in this skit. Do you have another interpretation for this line in this Saturday Night Live skit? It's just comedy. It's a waste of time to start an online argument over this. But such are the times we live in. Sigh...

Yup it's called stormy Daniels

I think the last few seasons have been pretty darn strong. There are still "so-so" episodes every once in a while, but they're rare.

James is amazing, but without the genius of Kate Mckinnon it's not a patch on what it was.

That is one good thing that came from drumpfs, loads of free comedy

I agree! This was one the best for openings for sure! I just woke up and was still laughing so hard.🤣🤣🤣

Yes!!! I gotta agree.😂

It's rare that a cast member in an early season has been given so much prominence in the show. It demonstrates how great he is.

In no world is this man funny. I doubt there is even a live crowd in front of him. There is no way human beings laugh at this tired shit.

I keep forgetting he isn't Daryl Hammond.

How dare you say that about a straight white male you bigot.

@@ColinPoole exactly

Some were saying the show should end,with so many leaving,this has absolutely been one of their best seasons,the show isn't nearly so hit and miss like it used to be,credit to the talented cast of senior and new members 👏👍

@@jmnny85 I have been watching SNL since the First Season, in 1975 and it never gets old. Sometimes the Sketch "misses" the mark, but the Show has an ability to constantly "reinvent" itself each week, with a new host and then every few years, with a new Cast. For nearly Half a Century, SNL has been a part of my Weekend. Imagine a three or four hour "SNL Reunion" with Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, etc? Imagine all the SNL Stars from nearly 50 years in ONE show? What about it Lorne Michaels?

@@rdelrosso2001 Hello "Mailman"....... LANDSHARK! 😂😂 Been watching since highschool. 👍

@@jmnny85 Exactly, when so many cast members left I thought this season would be a catastrophe. But it turns out the new fresh faces and new writers was the shot in the arm this season needed.

Nothing about this skit is funny !

​@@dvontaydeshazer830all of it was funny.

@@dvontaydeshazer830 Your hurt feelings only make it funnier

@@dvontaydeshazer830 ohhhh poor baby. I LMAO the entire time.

@@dvontaydeshazer830 it was hilarious.

LOL I cracked up so hard at that one 😂

One of the best lines in a monologue of great lines. I almost fell off the couch when he said that one. Brilliant

Agreed, this skit is as good as any classical SNL skit.

Man is ALL FLESHED OUT and denies God, that he will stand before one day...

I am not a Christian, but this is one part of the bible that speaks to me. "She washed his feet with her tears and dried them with her hair."

...or Melissa McCarthy doing Sean Spicer.

Or that time they made fun of a Democrat... you know... that one time... I'm sure they have

@@tubahug They've insulted biden multiple times so sush.

​@Ponder Parett yes... because Bill and Hilary Clinton aren't Democrats. Loser 😂

@harry69007 sure they have champ

"Tears in his eyes" I was like yes! Nailed it! 😅

Could you point them out? I haven't seen much of Trump lately.

I can see him or hear him say exact verbiage or something similar. Just watch the latest rally of his and jot it all down, reword some of it and then turn James Austin Johnson loose!

@@sandeshvantveen Lol

In today's interview with Tucker talking about withdrawal from Afghanistan, he said "I would have done it faster" 🤣🤣

That's show bizz. The show must go on!

They really did freeze, they didn't move I thought it was green screen. How did they freeze that well?

Yeah, I got the feeling James was improvising that part, trying to get Mikey to break character. Great stuff!

I would have broke character the first time he said it 😂😂😂

If it was off script, even better since Trump is famously known for going off script

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I agree. I laughed so hard 😂😂

Last week was great too! 🙂

I came here to say that knowing someone else would have done the same

Sadly the truest comment here!

It would be the elevator down to meet his maker who has a HOT 🔥spot for evil😈

He's talking about taking documents home only took two days for him

Jesus resurrected in 3 days but DJT is saying he could resurrect in 2 days.

Check out his Better Call Saul episode from Season 4. He’s a sweetheart. He plays an employee in a Money Wire store and interacts with a “good” guy and then a bad guy comes in to find out what the good guy wanted. It’s a small role but you get to see him be a cordial by the book employee to a sympathetic break the rules employee to a terrified employee.

🤭

Trump was being generous with a sex worker.Again a man of the people.

.....and he succumbed!!! God don' like Him no trademark infringements

Funny line! Thanks!

Passion of The Don! Why thou father did you abandon me?

You have to watch last weeks Trump cold open. The way Trump stares with his unpleasant face at the start makes me burst out laughing.

NO!!!!! THEY'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT!! SNL IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE FUN OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENT IN THE COLD OPENS!!! And don't say that that's not possible cause them guy is a walking gold mine!!

Colleen I hate to break it to you but as long as Donald continues to engage in newsworthy public behavior SNL will have no choice but to make fun of the Big Orange Trainwreck.

You mean hands up, look at the fingers lol

​@Stephanie Zimbalist you liberals are sick in the head. You hate trump but can't spend 1 minute of your day not thinking about him. Get a life.

Same lol

I'm just replying so you can see how much likes you got

No. The only funny thing is how stupid the writers are.

The balloon shootdown one with Bowen Yang a couple months back was pretty darn hilarious too.

You have something there. The first ensemble cast of the avante garde Saturday Night Live excelled at nuanced humor, wit, satire, timing, every episode treated with the excitement of the first, and with the excellence necessary, in case it were the last. They were never stilted, never contrived. They did what nobody dared do, nobody could do, but these pioneers. Certain subsequest casts and members tried too hard, trying to force us to enjoy, trying to fit the popular mold, and they fell short. This sketch has done what the originals did, did the bold, the excellent, the daring, with the believability that swept us in as partners in the world of that moment. They did it so handily, as best described by the _Tao Te Ching:_ "The Master never has to try hard, because he already _is_ what he needs to be." Yes!

You have no wisdom bc you have no fear of GOD...

​@@mightymystery9204 solid😊

Better than baldwins for sure.

I bet you JAJ wrote every single line of this. He consistently posted shit like this in 2020

IT IS DEAD!!! WHERE ARE THE BIDEN JOKES?!

Agreed 😂

Indeed... LOVED how he kept looking back at the other players(couple times you could spot "Jesus" shaking lightly, trying to "Hold")... Then the Writers.... Perfect Lines.. Funniest thing I've seen in awhile

This was a hilarious skit --- I wanna see more ad lib stuff like this! 🤣

small fingers

The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God.

it must've been tough, especially when he kept turning back and talking about the hands hahaha

Can you believe they used to use Alec Baldwin’s trash impression. That’s was literally dogshit

Me too!!!

I hope his talent wont be needed except to imitate Trump in prison

​@@Theire1but he won't be in prison. Only Biden will take his place.
